John Tomase, of the Boston Herald, reports free-agent S Artrell Hawkins (Patriots) was arrested Monday, Oct. 10, for driving under the influence. Hawkins was accused of hitting another man's car and the argument that followed was the reason the police were called. A police officer believed Hawkins was drunk and tried to administer a field sobriety test. Hawkins refused and was arrested.

Updating a previous report, Karen Guregian, of the Boston Herald, reports the New England Patriots have not contacted unrestricted free-agent S Artrell Hawkins (Patriots) about a possible return, according to a source.
